Not Sure Which Business Entity to Select?
Limited Liability Company+
Articles of organization must be filed with the Secretary of State in order to create a Limited Liability Company. Members of an LLC are its owners. Individuals, businesses, other LLCs, and foreign entities can all be members. There is no upper limit on the number of members that can form an LLC. Since LLCs are corporate structures that shield its members (owners) from personal liability for the debts of the business, they are typically the preferred entity form for some professionals and landlords. Since an LLC is a legal entity rather than a tax designation, its owners can choose to file as a Partnership, S-Corporation, or even as a Sole Proprietor.
Sole Proprietor / Individual+
An individual who owns a business that is not formed or registered with the state as a Corporation or Limited Liability Company (LLC) is known as a Sole Proprietor. This covers all independent contractors and freelancers as well as many business owners without partners. This category also includes household employers.
Non-Profit Organization+
Corporations, Trusts, LLCs, and Unincorporated Associations are examples of Non-Profit Organizations that are eligible for tax-exempt status under IRS Code IRC 501(a). Private foundations, educational institutions, public charities, veteran's organizations, business leagues, homeowners' or condo associations, PTA/PTO, or school organizations are a few examples of Non-Profit Organizations.
Corporation+
By submitting its Articles of Incorporation to the State, a Corporation creates a legal entity with rights, privileges, and liabilities. With a charter from the Secretary of State, an individual or group of individuals can form a Corporation. A Corporation has an endless lifespan and becomes its own legal entity after it is formed.
Partnership+
An unincorporated organization with two or more members is called a Partnership. A Partnership's members conduct a business or trade and split the earnings. Individuals, businesses, Trusts, Estates, and other types of Partnerships can all be considered partners. In addition to providing cash, real estate, labor, or skills, each partner anticipates receiving a portion of the company's gains and losses. The Partnership's tax obligation is transferred to its partners.
S-Corporation+
An S-Corporation is a particular kind of Corporation that is created by submitting Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State. It is a domestic Corporation that qualifies and seeks to prevent double taxation (once to the Corporation and once to the shareholders). Instead of the Corporation itself, the shareholders of an S-Corporation pay taxes on the Corporation's income. Doctors, dentists, and some consultants are among the professions that typically select S-Corporations.
Need Help with a Non-Business-Related Entity?
While our primary focus is business-to-business (B2B), we do provide assistance for the following non-business-related entity types. We handle the preparation and submission of your application, ensuring a streamlined process.
Estate of Deceased Individual+
An Estate is a legal entity comprising all of an individual's assets and liabilities at the time of their death or bankruptcy. The assets within an Estate can include real estate, cash, bank accounts, investments, personal belongings like vehicles and jewelry, and business interests. Debts and outstanding taxes owed by the individual are also part of the Estate. Assets with designated beneficiaries generally bypass the formal Estate process (probate) and pass directly to the named beneficiaries.
Trust+
A Trust is a legal arrangement in which a person (the grantor) transfers assets to a third party (the trustee) to hold and manage for the benefit of specific individuals or entities (the beneficiaries). This structure separates the legal ownership of assets from their use and control. A formal document, typically drafted by an estate planning attorney, outlines the rules, conditions, and instructions for how the assets will be managed and distributed.
Church Controlled Org+
A Church Controlled Organization (CCO) is an entity, such as a school, hospital, or charity, that is operated, supervised, or principally supported by a church or an association of churches. These organizations are distinct from the parent church itself, but because of their close affiliation, they generally share the same tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Frequently Asked Questions
